Well Scottie,
The actual trick is, server is going to considered this malicious file as a .GIF image n will not detect it as a Java applet and thus turning off Java in ur browser will not work, Plus by doing so u ll be unable to open other Java based sites and this will really irritate you.

I think the only solution is to enhance web application security or web app can possibly reduce attacks by parsing file contents instead of considering file’s extension only.
